The nature of my invention consists in' beveled 0E and provided with metal points which catch into the sides of the barrel and station the head at any desired point.

This invention is intended to be used in keeping salt meat, such as pork, beef fish, &c., submerged in the brine. Meat when placed in brine will usually float upon it and a portion of it rising above the brine is liable to be injured by contact with the air. This head is placed in the barrel so as to bearrthe meat below the brine, and the sharp ends of the arms catching in the sides of the barrel the head is stationed at any desired point.

Having thus fully described my invention what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is i The employment of the head A, provided with the movable arms B B, when the same is used substantially as and for the purpose herein specified.
